Griffon Ramsey

Chainsaw Artist

Hey There!

I’m Griffon Ramsey, a chainsaw artist seeking a life of travel, freedom and inspiration. Since trading in the FORT - the creative venue I opened in east Austin in 2011- for a carving pit on the edge of town, I now focus on using the power of the Internet to showcase to the wild wonderful world of chainsaw carving. So far my work has allowed me to travel and share my adventures across three continents - four more to go!

My work is inspired by my family, fantasy, magic, tarot, tattoos, pop/alt culture, and large-scale public art. One day I hope to see my body of work on every continent on Earth (and the colony on Mars).
